Is it better/different from Kile? Why don't you join efforts?

Re: Why use Texmaker

1) Texmaker is different from kile : it's a pure Qt and crossplatform program. Unlike Kile, the kde libraries are not required for Texmaker and Texmaker runs natively (without X11, cygwin...) on macosx and win32 systems.

2) Texmaker can export latex document into html pages with an integrated tool (this is not latex2html)

3) Texmaker is not better than Kile

4) Texmaker looks like Kile because i was the creator ans the author of Kile until the 1.5 version.

Bug on OS X

Very nice editor, IMO the best available on OS X.

However, I found a little bug in the OS X version (not tested on other platforms): The PDFLaTeX command does not work (Error: Could not start the command). Changing the command in the LaTeX field to pdflatex works perfectly, though.

Correction: Calling pdflatex/latex doesn't work at all on OS X. Launching the PDF viewer works fine, so does calling pdflatex in the terminal.

best,
Nic

Re: Re: Bug on OS X

Texmaker can't find the TeX related programs because the TeX binaries directory is not set in your PATH environment.In that case you must check if you have a ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist' file (Dot files aren't, by default, visible in the finder, so type "cd .MacOSX/" and "ls" in a terminal.) :

1) If the file exists : open it with a text editor and add the TeX binaries directory to the PATH key.
If the PATH key doesn't exist, create it.
You have to log out and log in again to let Texmaker see the effect of the new environment.

2) If '~/.MacOSX/environment.plist' file doesn't exist, you will have to create the .MacOSX directory yourself using terminal (by typing mkdir .MacOSX). You will also have to create the environment.plist file yourself (see the apple doc for that).

Re: Re: Re: Bug on OS X

Ok, it works with the full path to the executables given in the commands window. When copying the path from the terminal be carefull not to also copy any (invisible) special characters, otherwise you will get the same error message. On my system the command is:

Thanks for your help.

Re: Re: Bug on OS X

Hello,

I am windows Xp user
i am trying Texmeker first time,i am getting error "Error : could not start the command" it seems that while pressing pdflet icon its working but after pressing pdf icon i am getting this error, can you please tell me what i should do?

Thanx in advance
parikh

quotes!

Hi,

program looks good and works fine. But after a quick test I find that it lacks a feature which is very import for me. I am using latex to write fictional texts like short stories and novels in which I use quotations extensively. So i miss support for german (and french ;-)) quotation marks. When I type a " I need the programm to insert "` for an opening and "' for a closing quotation. Also Texmaker should detect whether a " opens or ends a quotation. In XEmacs combined with AUCTex this works very fine.

How do you like Plasma 5? The best KDE Desktop ever. Definitely a nice improvement. Not decided yet. Haven't tried it yet. I do not like some of the changes. KDE is taking the wrong way. I am still sticking with KDE 3.5. I have no opinion, but wanted to vote anyway.
